Warning: Spoiler Alert for Book 3
Chapter One: Diagon Alley
A pair of blue-green eyes glistened with both fear and excitement as they glided through the thick piece of parchment, drenched in raven black ink.
A smile crept from a girl's pale face as a black owl flew and rested on her shoulder, cold yellow eyes gleaming.
"Mademoiselle," a servant bowed before her, holding a strange-looking jar that contained a powdery substance. The owl flew and perched on his head.
"Floo powder, I presume? Thank you, I have been waiting," The girl replied with a slight gesture.
"Forgive me, Mademoiselle." The servant muttered apologetically as the girl stepped into the fireplace. She took a heap of the powder as the owl fluttered again and perched on her raised arms.
"Diagon Alley." The girl said, throwing the powder on the ground and vanishing in a flash of bright green light. She was gone.
The mysterious girl appeared in the fireplace and hastily stepped out of the shop She dusted the black robes while her owl hooted noisily, still perched on her shoulders. She looked up and her eyes were filled with awe and excitement as she surveyed the place surrounding her. She was finally here.
After shopping her school supplies, she wondered off to the pet store to find her owl a new cage.
"Well, well, well… what do we have here?" a cold, drawling voice made her jump. As she turned, a tall man with white, silver blonde hair came to view. "I haven't seen you before." Continued the man. "Though you look familiar. I can't seem to remember the place where I saw you."
She stared at the man, apparently too scared and surprised to even speak.
"Tell me, milady, what is your name?"
"I—" she started but soon; she was again interrupted by another drawling voice. "Father, have you seen---"
Then the boy froze on the spot. He looked just like his father. The same, cold gray eyes, and blonde hair combed neatly into place. He stared at her, obviously transfixed by her appearance. Long blonde hair cascaded down her shoulders. Her blue-green eyes glistened mysteriously, pale skin and rosy lips.
"Wait a second… Hold on… Do I… Know you?" The boy asked, eyeing the girl from head to toe. "Now, now, Draco. Show some respect to our friend here." The older man said, pushing his son on the shoulder with his walking stick. The boy looked at his father with a death glare. He stepped once side wards, tucked his hands casually on either side of his pockets and resting his weight on his left foot.
The girl looked intently at the boy as she felt a chill run down her spine. " I… Well… I'm…" "Lucius Malfoy, yes, that's my name." The man continued. The boy cleared his throat and faked a cough. "Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." A smile then crept from the girl's face. "Alexis, Alexis Flamel." She mouthed softly.
The man seemed to be baffled at the sound of her name. "Flamel… Flamel… Flamel… Where have I heard that name before? Hmm…" he muttered silently. "Father…" Draco scolded as he gave his father another deadly stare. "Uh… Uhmm…" Alexis began.
"Forgive me, my dear. I'm just fascinated by your owl… It's eyes…" Lucius stared to say.
"Oh, Dagger. He's always been like that. He's the quiet type of an owl… Uncle Albus always said that---"
"Albus? Albus Dumbledore?" Lucius Malfoy interrupted, baffled again by this great discovery.
"You—You know my uncle?" Alexis asked in awe. "Yes… We… Erm… met before." Lucius Malfoy said shortly, looking more intently at Alexis.
A silent pause followed.
Lucius seemed to be pondering on his thoughts, Draco, however was looking at them back and forth. "Ah, Draco, my boy, why don't you take Alexis here for a walk?" he said swiftly, "I have a very urgent matter at hand that I have to attend to right away. I shall meet you at Borgin and Burkes soon…"
Before Draco could even reply, his father had Apparated out of sight. The two stared at each other, minds lost in a pit of silence. After a while, Draco cleared his throat. "Um—would you like to go for a walk?"
"Uh, sure." Alexis replied shyly. Dagger hooted disapprovingly.
Alexis smiled at her owl. "Don't worry, Dagger. We won't take long. Go on ahead and I'll meet you soon, okay?" Dagger hooted again in acknowledgement, stretched his wings and took flight. "Shall me?" Draco extended his hand for Alexis.
Alexis didn't take any notice of this gesture and just skipped off. "Let's go, then!" she said. Draco looked dumfounded. He managed to regain his composure and started towards the path to the Leaky Cauldron, following Alexis.
"Flamel? Sorcerer's Stone?" a cold, eerie voice muttered through the forest. Birds fluttered everywhere with a strong gust of wind. A long pit of silence ensured. "Yes, my Lord." Another voice replied.
"Is this true?"
"Yes, I have seen her with my own eyes."
"Well, then. It's like killing two birds with one stone. I will be rid of both Potter and that girl. The dark Lord will rise again… The eerie voice let a cackle. "Bwahahahahahahahahhaha…"
